During the Cannes Film Festival, the famous U2 singer took the opportunity to show his support for the Ukrainian army by inviting soldiers to the event. Accompanied by actor and director Sean Penn, Bono presented a documentary about his life titled «Stories of Surrender.» The presence of seven Ukrainian soldiers alongside Penn on the red carpet was a powerful symbol of solidarity amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The soldiers received a warm reception as they walked the red carpet and later appeared in the grand auditorium. Sean Penn proudly wore a pin of the Ukrainian flag, while others chose to wear a pin in support of Palestine. The war in Ukraine was a central theme at the Cannes Film Festival this year, with three films dedicated to the conflict. The festival highlighted the importance of using cinema to address global issues and shape our collective future.
